What a wonderful collection of voices, stories, music and beautiful crops. I loved how the farmer asked the children if they wanted to be farmers when they grew up. I see the power in this film in moving a young generation towards this noble profession, respecting farmers and appreciating real food. We will only fight for what we love.
